1.4 - WARNINGS

• Read all the instructions carefully before using the appliance.
  This oven has been designed to cook food. It must never be used for other purposes, modified or tampered with in any way.
• Place the appliance on a horizontal surface at a height of at least 85~cm and out of reach of children.

• Wash all accessories thoroughly before use.
  Before plugging into the mains, make sure that:

• the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate;

• the mains socket has a minimum rating of 16A and an earth wire.

The manufacturer declines all liability in the event that this important accident-prevention rule is not respected.

Before using the oven for the first time, remove any paper and other material inside the oven such as protective cardboard, booklets, plastic bags, etc.
Before using for the first time, operate the oven empty with the thermostat at maximum for at least 15 minutes to eliminate the "new" smell and any smoke caused by the presence of protective substances applied to the elements before transport. During this operation, ventilate the room.

IMPORTANT: when you have unpacked the appliance, make sure the door is undamaged and working correctly. The door is made from glass and is therefore fragile. If it is visibly chipped, scored or scratched, it should be replaced. While using, cleaning or moving the appliance, avoid slamming or knocking the door violently. Do not pour cold liquid onto the glass while the appliance is hot.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass
• When in operation, the door and accessible external surfaces could become very hot. Always use the knobs, handles and buttons. Never touch metal parts or the glass. Use oven gloves if necessary.
• This electrical appliance operates at high temperatures which could cause burns.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not move the appliance while in use.

CHAPTER 3 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Frequent cleaning will prevent the formation of smoke and bad smells during cooking.

Before performing any cleaning operations, always unplug the appliance from the power socket.

Never immerse the appliance in water; do not wash it by spraying it with water. The wire rack, dripping pan, and spit (if supplied) are washed like normal dishes, by hand or in the dishwasher. Always use a damp sponge to clean the outer surface. Avoid using abrasive products that may damage the surface finish (enamel or paint). Make sure water or liquid soap does not infiltrate through the slits on the right-hand side of the oven. To clean the inside of the oven, never use corrosive products and do not scrape the walls with sharp objects or blades. Only use non-abrasive liquid detergents. Do not attempt to push forks, knives or sharp objects into the openings on the right-hand side and the rear of the oven. To make the bottom of the oven easier to clean, the lower heating element (L) must be raised by pulling it upwards and to the right (see Figure 10). After cleaning, fasten the heating element back in place, as shown in Figure 11.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow: Earth

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.
